Ensure unexploded projectiles or munitions (duds) are conspicuously marked, taped, or fenced off. Report immediately to Range Operations. Ensure soldiers know location of turn-in point. Segregate expended cartridge cases (brass) and live ammunition. Never place them in the same container. Ensure all issue and live serviceable training ammunition turn in is accomplished utilizing DA Form 581 with TAMIS Audit Trails. 7.0 FORECASTING TRAINING AMMUNITION This section is designed to provide guidelines by which units can effectively manage their ammunition authorizations, plan, forecast assets and meet installation goals. 7.1 RESPONSIBILITIES The Ammunition Supply Point Will: Ensure that an adequate supply of ammunition is on-hand to meet the forecasted training and operational load requirements of all units and activities attached or satellite on this installation for Class V logistical support. Immediately notify the Installation Ammunition Manager of any pending shortfalls generated by a lot suspension or delayed shipment. Coordinate with the Installation Ammunition Manager to determine availability of ammunition to support unforecasted requests based on the on-hand balances. Obtain approved forecasts on the 1" working day of each month from TAMIS to validate the National Level Ammunition Capability (NLAC) Ammunition /Missile Requirements Worksheet NLT the 5th working day of the month. Provide the Installation Ammunition Manager an information copy. Validate and monitor ammunition and explosives shipments from depot stocks through NLAC to meet forecasted requirements. Logistics Readiness Center Page 8 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

11 7.1.2 Major Subordinate Commands Will: Receive annual authorization for all types of ammunition from the Installation Ammunition Manager or MACOM. Sub-authorize ammunition to subordinate units by type and quantity. Cross-level within the command when necessary. Monitor subordinate unit forecasts, unforecasted requests, and expenditures for accuracy, completeness and timeliness. Request additional ammunition authorizations from appropriate MACOM G3/S3, if required. Determine credit release from within their organization to fill unforecasted requests. Ensure that total authorization of ammunition is not exceeded. Ensure that units with TAMIS accounts maintain a record of their ammunition account to include authorizations, expenditures, and balances. Major Subordinate Commands will reconcile these records in TAMIS at least monthly. Ensure that units subordinate to them manage within the quantity ceilings given to them. They will forecast ammunition and will seek assistance for additional ammunition from their Installation Ammunition Manager or Higher HQ/MACOM. Provide completed DA Forms 581, Request for Issue and Turn-in of Ammunition, with actual draw and turn-in amounts, or DD Form 1348 to Customer Service NLT 5 days after returning to the installation when returning from off-post training. Ensure units do not forecast more training ammunition than the amount needed to meet training requirements. Ensure live ammunition and blank ammunition are not requested on the same document. Initiate requests for special or increased authorization of training ammunition by memorandum to Fort Benning Installation Manager or appropriate MACOM Units Will: Prepare and submit DA Form e581 at least 30 days but (in accordance with instructions contained in the TAMIS operator's manual) NLT than 4 working days prior to the required pick-up date. Once the e581 is signed by the requestor and approving authority it will be available for the Installation Training Ammunition Manager to validate. Once ITAM validated it will be electronically sent to the ASP. Ensure that the DA Form e581 is submitted in sufficient time to reach the ASP at least four workdays prior to attempting to draw ammunition. The fourth workday is not to be considered a pick up day. Ensure that accountability and responsibility for operational load ammunition Logistics Readiness Center Page 9 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

12 will be IAW the procedures outlined in DA PAM , Chapters 3 and 11. Hand receipt procedures will be used when operational loads are issued for expenditure. Ensure that all troops assigned to the unit are aware of their basic responsibilities for compliance with the EPA-MR. Ensure all vehicles are on-line for inspection by 0900 on the day scheduled for their issue or turn-in. Units who fail to report by 0900 will have to reschedule their issue or turn-in appointment. Ensure all vehicles designated to transport ammunition and explosives will pass a DD Form 626 vehicle inspection prior to arrival at the ASP. The vehicle will be inspected by Ammunition Surveillance personnel prior to entering the ASP. Additionally, a unit competent person must inspect vehicles daily, prior to transporting ammunitions and explosives. The unit inspector will inspect such vehicles daily using a DD Form 626, completing all three sections. The inspector and one of the drivers must sign Section III of the DD Form GENERAL FORECASTING Yearly ammunition forecast requirements are submitted 11 months preceding the start of a fiscal year. These requirements will be computed on Standards in Training Commission Committee guidelines and projected training guidance, as provided by the Installation Ammunition Manager or MACOM for the next fiscal year starting 1 October. Use DA PAM to establish training ammunition requirements; DA PAM also gives established guidance When units prepare their monthly forecasts in TAMIS they may increase the amount forecasted for any month after the 90 day lockout period providing the total fiscal year authorization is not exceeded. For example, a November through January forecast creation month, the unit can increase February through September without restriction. The unit can reduce forecasted amounts during any time in the lockout period, as long as it does not exceed the expenditures for that month. If a unit needs additional ammunition during a lockout period, they will notify the Installation Ammunition Manager or Higher HQ/MACOM as soon as possible and will then follow the procedures for unforecasted requests as outlined in paragraph 10-5 of MCoE Regulation Monthly forecasts will be input into the TAMIS forecasting system NLT the end of the 90 Day Lock Out month TAMIS account holders must submit accurate 12-month forecasts. The Installation Ammunition Manager will publish a list of CALS items semiannually Units should strive to use 90 percent of the ammunition quantities forecasted for each month. The usage rate can be determined by dividing the number of rounds used by the number of rounds forecasted. Units should monitor these figures each month to determine how well they are forecasting Coordinate with the Installation Ammunition Manager for emergency situations where unforecasted training ammunition is required. Subordinate units will notify their units, who will cross-level to provide the ammunition. If the command is unable to provide the ammunition, will contact the Installation Ammunition Manager. See procedures in para 3-5. Logistics Readiness Center Page 10 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

13 8.0 REQUESTING AMMUNITION 8.1 GENERAL Commanders must exercise strict control of requests, receipts, accountability and use of all ammunition items, and ensure proper accountability of residue Ammunition drawn from the Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) will be accounted for on DA Form 581, Request for Issue and Turn-In of Ammunition. Ammunition drawn for basic load, contingency/ operational load requirements or guard purposes will be entered in unit property books for accountability and national stock and lot number control. 8.2 REQUESTING PROCEDURES Units will comply with the following: Use DA Form 581 as mandated by DA utilizing the e581 module of TAMIS the operator's manual can be found at and this SOP to draw or turn in ammunition for training and operational load. Prepare and process DA Form 581, IAW TAMIS user manual in sufficient time for the e581 to reach the ASP NLT four workdays, including pick up day. When calculating the four-day requirement, do not include national holidays, weekends or any announced closures of the ASP. A good rule of thumb is to submit the e581 NLT 30 days prior to the requested pick-up date. Ensure live and blank ammunition are requested on separate DA Form e581. Requests received at the ASP less than four workdays prior to the pickup date must be accompanied by a memorandum of justification for lateness, signed by the first 0-6 in the chain of command or higher level commander. Request for changes to a document must be submitted by someone in the requestor /approver channel. Increases or changes in date of pick-up that runs from one month to another MUST be approved by the ITAM. The ASP will accept decreases at any time, even the day of issue, as long as the change is made by the requestor or approver. Use Training Event Codes when requesting ammunition to be issued. (See TAMIS v2.0.0 USER Manual, Table 7-2. Electronic DA Form 581 Fields, Block 21, TEC). Time of pick up will be established by the ASP. Use only one Training Event Code per each DA Form e581. Indicate on DA Form e581 a statement of justification if a requirement exists for a particular lot number to be issued. Outline circumstances on DA Form 5811-R, Certificate, Lost or Damaged Class V Ammunition Items (LRA), when training/mission precludes recovery of residue when drawing ammunition for deployment. The certificate must be signed by the unit commander in Part I - Certification and Part II - Action must be completed by the first 0-5 (or, in the absence of the 0-5, the next higher 0-5) in the chain of command. It should be noted that a 04 in a 05 position cannot sign the DA Form 5811-R. Logistics Readiness Center Page 11 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

14 8.2.2 Only commissioned officers, warrant officers, or noncommissioned officers in the grade of SGT (E-5) and above may be delegated the authority to request ammunition. Both the requesting and approving authorities are required to provide DA Form 1687, Notice of Delegation of Authority Receipt for Supplies, to the ASP. Contractors are not authorized to request ammunition IAW DA Directive. There is no grade requirement for an approving authority, however they must be on a valid DA Form All security Category I material will be signed for and in the custody of a Commissioned Officer, Warrant Officer, Noncommissioned Officer (E-5 and above or DOD Civilian grade GS-5 or above). All shipments or movements will be in a locked and sealed DOT approved or original packaging container under armed guard surveillance and a separate security escort vehicle with an unarmed driver and mobile communication capability. This requirement will not be waived. Units will comply with procedures outlined in AR , paragraph 7-4a, by providing a continuous audit trail from shipper to consignee and maintaining a two-person certification, as described in the subject regulation and paragraph. Units will strictly adhere to the guidance described in paragraph 7-19 of AR regarding security standards for AA&E shipments. Category II ammunition will comply with the same as Category I with the exception the armed guard may ride in the same vehicle as the Cat II ammunition. The following DODICs are some of the munitions included in these categories and include all "ready to fire" missiles and rockets; i.e., AT- 4, Stinger, Redeye, Dragon and LAW. (DODICs: C995, G880, G881, G892, G910, G911, H110, H553, H557, H581, H712, K143, K145, M020, M022, M023, M418, M420, M421, M832, M957, PB71, PC25, PJ01, PJ04, PJ08, PL23, PL83, PL90, PM90). A complete list is contained in the Hazard Classification of United States Military Explosives and Munitions Book or contact the ASP Customer Service at (706) for assistance DA Form 1687 must meet dual signature requirement, an Electronic Hand written signature and a Digital Signature (CAC). IAW Memorandum, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4 (DALO_SIP), 20 March 15 subject: Clarification of Guidance Regarding Dual Signature Requirements on DA Form The signed DA for 1687 should be transmitted to all authorized individuals from the initiating representative, then to the Commander. The digitally signed DA Form 1687 must then be sent to the ASP via to USAARMY.BENNING.IMCOM.MBX.DOL-ASP@MAIL.MIL Digitally signed DA Form 1687s are recommended. Should a unit choose to submit manually prepared DA Form 1687s the ASP requires three original copies. Photocopies and FAX copies will not be accepted. Disposition of these copies will be (copy 1) ASP (copy 2) VHA (copy 3) Unit. Assumption of Command/Responsibility orders are required for all personnel delegating their authority utilizing DA Form DA Form 1687s will be valid for a period not to exceed one year and will be reviewed quarterly for accuracy Commanders of officers appointed as Ammunition Managers, and all others delegated authority to request and receive ammunition, will require a DA Form 7281, Command Oriented Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E) Security Screening and Evaluation Record IAW AR It is the responsibility of the appointing authority to insure one is on file at the unit level.

15 8.3 ACCOUNTABILITY UPON RECEIPT Basic Load Ammunition - Accountability for basic load ammunition stored and maintained on stock records at the ASP will remain with the ASP. Basic load issued from the ASP to a requesting unit will be accounted for on unit property book in accordance with procedures in DA PAM , Chapters 4 and 5. Basic load will not be expended for training during EDRE or exercise without MACOM approval Operational loads of Class V supplies will be maintained on unit property books and controlled through hand receipt procedures. See procedures in DA PAM , which outline the use of DA Form 5203, DODIC Master/Lot Locator Record, and DA Form 5204, Serial Number Record When operational loads are issued for expenditure, the hand receipt procedures outlined in DA PAM will be used Training Ammunition - Account for training ammunition in accordance with DA PAM Units will use DA Form 5515, Training Ammunition Control Document, as a hand receipt for issuing ammunition from parent unit to subordinate unit, from one supervisory level to another, or from one person to several recipients. The DA Form 5515 will also be used as a turn-in document for unexpended ammunition and residue from the hand receipt holder to the level that originally drew the ammunition from the ASP, when the training event is completed. See DA PAM , Figure 11-2, for documentation flow The organization which receives the ammunition on DA Form e581, will maintain a copy of each sub-issue DA Form 5515 to provide an audit trail of expenditures, and of all ammunition down to the first line supervisor (Sergeant or equivalent) closest to the soldiers who will fire the ammunition Unit Basic and Operational Loads The unit commander or designated representative, NCO, warrant officer, commissioned officer, or DOD civilian, will inventory ammunition by lot number and serial number (if assigned) and conduct a monthly serviceability check. Inventories will not be accomplished by unit armorers nor will the same person inventory twice in a row. Accomplish inventory actions in accordance with DA PAM , Chapter 9. Results of the inventory will be forwarded to the Property Book Officer (PBO) as part of the sensitive items inventory Control Commanders must control requests and use of ammunition and components. No more than the required amount will be requested at one time. Submit additional requests for extended or sustained range firing as required. Exceptions will be approved only when training off the Fort Benning reservation. Requests for exception will be submitted to the Installation Ammunition Manager. Units will establish internal controls, such as hand receipt accountability in accordance with AR and DA PAM , for continuous accountability and responsibility for ammunition and components. The Logistics Readiness Center Page 13 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

16 following applies: All munitions must be under continuous and positive control IAW AR Additionally, Category I and II munitions must also be secured in a MILVAN or CONEX container, under constant surveillance by an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Additionally, all Category I Missiles and rockets stored at a Ft Benning temporary Field ASP can only be stored in an approved container (e.g., CONEX, MILVAN, SEAVAN) or in a site-surveyed and approved enclosed storage building. Said items will not be stored in an open area. The approved container must be secured with two approved medium or low security locks. A key control system for the locks must be established so no one person will have possession or control of both keys Usage of ammunition, once drawn, by other than the drawing unit is authorized provided the original drawing unit representative retains the responsibility and accountability for the ammunition and residue. The unit drawing ammunition from the ASP will remain responsible for the return of unused ammunition or residue Use DA Form 2064, Document Register for Supply Actions Procedures for use of DA Forms 2064, 5203, and Prepare a DA Form 5203 for each DODIC and DA Form 5204 for each missile or item possessing a serial number. When ammunition is received from the ASP, post receipts from the DA Form 581 to DA Form 2064, DA Form 5203, and DA Form 5204, if applicable. On the expendable document register, DA Form 2064, post the date and quantity received for the first item on DA Form 581. DA Form 3151-R, Ammunition Stores Slip, and DA Form 581 are to be maintained as supporting documentation. For each DODIC received, enter the date and quantity received on DA Form Enter document number of the DA Form 581 and update the balance on- hand. Enter the serial numbered items on its respective DA Form Refer to DA PAM , Chapter 11, for detailed description of filling out these forms. These forms will be maintained in the visible files in DODIC sequence. DA Forms 2064, 5203, and 5204 will be posted as a loss for issues on DA Form 5515, as a gain for items returned on DA Form 5515, and as a loss for those items turned in to the ASP on DA Form Procedures for use and preparation of DA Form 5515 The activity that maintains the DA Forms 5203 and 5204 will assign the document number to the DA Form 5515 from the expend-able document register. Post the DA Form 5203 and DA Form 5204, as appropriate, for all items on the DA Form 5515 with the date issued, document number, unit designation, quantity, and remaining on-hand balance. A different DA Form 5515 is used for each issue to subordinate levels, but is not used to issue ammunition lower than the first line supervisor (SGT) (for Category I and II items, two each E-5's or above) of the individuals who will be firing the ammunition. The document number placed on the original DA Form 5515 by the level receiving the ammunition from the ASP will be Logistics Readiness Center Page 14 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

17 perpetuated at each subordinate level. The activity that first issued the ammunition on DA Form 5515 will reconcile ammunition and residue returned against quantity drawn. Note all shortages, verify shortage statements, sign in appropriate blocks, and post the document register as completed, and date completed. Post the quantity of live rounds turned in on the appropriate DA Form 5203 and DA Form Additional sub-issues may be made utilizing the second part of the DA Form 5515 and additional DA Forms (See DA PAM , Figure for document flow.) The organization which receives ammunition issued on DA Form 581 will maintain a copy of each sub-issue DA Form 5515 to provide an audit trail of expenditures of all ammunition down to the first line supervisor. A copy of each supporting DA Form 5515 will be attached to the issue DA Form PRECONFIGURED LOADS Ammunition and explosives rigged or preconfigured for rapid deployment, and not stored in structures, will be inventoried monthly. If there are indications that loads have been tampered with, loads will be inventoried immediately. Loads will be secured and checked in accordance with AR , Physical Security of Weapons, Ammunition, and Explosives. Checks for tampering will be documented Sensitive items: sensitive explosives and hazardous items must be inventoried monthly by quantity, lot number, and if applicable, serial number. These items are identified with a Controlled Inventory Item Code (CUC) of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, N, P, Q, or R on the Army Master Data File (AMDF) Custodian transfers: an inventory of ammunition and explosives, between authorized persons, will be conducted upon transfer of the key custody for facilities storing ammunition Control of Demolitions and Components The Unit Range Officer In Charge (OIC) (SSG or above) will sign DA Form 581or DA Form 5515 and control all items coded with a "T" as listed in DA PAM App J Tables and locally designated DODIC's. The Unit Range Safety Officer (SSG or above) will certify quantity drawn, quantity consumed in training at the range (DA Form 5692-R), and the quantity to be returned. The Unit Range Safety Officer will personally observe placement of charges, actual detonation, and certify the quantity of all items expended. Certification will be accomplished on DA Form 5692-R, Ammunition Consumption Certification. The DA Form 5692-R will not be accepted by the ASP if there are indications that it has been altered or changed in any way. A warrant officer, or above, will perform the Unit Range Safety Officer duties at any training event requiring the expenditure of explosives at other Logistics Readiness Center Page 15 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

18 than U.S. Army installations or when Category I items are used in live-fire exercises. The original copy of each certification or expenditure will be attached to the turn- in document, DA Form 581 or DA Form The Unit Range Safety Officer will sign the expenditure statement placed in block 28 of DA Form 581. The ASP will not clear units without the required certificates and signatures The Unit Range OIC will inventory and sign for the items from the responsible individual, control items during training, and re-inventory, and sign residue and unexpended items to the responsible individual, upon completion of training The Unit Range Safety Officer (SSG or above) will certify quantity drawn, quantity consumed in training at the range, and the quantity to be returned When Category I items, e.g., LAWS, AT4, Dragon, etc., are used in live-fire exercises, a commissioned or warrant officer in the chain of command will certify the quantity consumed. The original copy of each certification of expenditure will be attached to the turn- in document, DA Form e581, and provided to the ASP during the turnin/reconciliation process. Units will be prohibited from future issues until the unit is cleared. All Category 1 missiles and rockets require a consumption certificate for each serial number. This certificate will be accompanied by the Missile Firing Data Report for all missiles. Prior to training, a demolition plan will be prepared by each unit when explosives are used in demolitions (i.e., C-4, dynamite, and TN1), bulk explosives, and firing systems. A demolition plan is not required for Category I items, grenades, and mines. A copy of the unit demolition plan (DA Form 2203, Demolition Reconnaissance Report) will be provided to Range Operations at the time the unit requests use of the range. This plan will be used as a cross check against explosives reported as expended. Preparation instructions for this report are contained in Field Manual FM , Explosives and Demolitions. A demolition plan is not required when explosives are exclusively fragmentation grenades and claymores. 8.4 UNFORECASTED REQUESTS AND PROCEDURES Unforecasted requests are increases to previously submitted forecasts for requirements less than 90 days in the future which fails under the responsibility of the Installation Training Ammunition Manager or Higher HQ/MACOM Unforecasted requests will not be accepted by the Installation Training Ammunition Manager without a statement of justification signed by a 0-6, or higher level authority. Such requests will be approved or disapproved and processed as follows: Unforecasted unit requests will not be considered if the Installation Training Ammunition Manager has forecasted ammunition remaining for the month. Once the Installation Training Ammunition Manager's monthly forecast for the item(s) is expended, then the unforecasted ammunition request will be processed. Units will hand carry unforecasted requests signed by the unit commander to the MSC. The MSC will coordinate with the Installation Logistics Readiness Center Page 16 of 54 Fort Benning, GA

19 Ammunition Manager to determine whether the unforecasted request can be supported. Fort Benning s mission, which often requires late notification of ammunition requirements to meet unscheduled deployments and other contingencies, will sometimes result in unforecasted requirements not being processed until 5 days prior to the required pickup date. This will ensure that the ammunition is available after approval of the unforecasted request. After approval, the unit will submit the unforecasted request to the Installation Training Ammunition Manager at least 10 working days prior to the pickup date. The DA Form e581 will be approved by the Installation Ammunition Manager. 8.5 OFF-POST TRAINING If unforecasted items are not on hand above the 5 day requirement, Installation Training Ammunition Manager will determine which major activity account the items will be taken from, if any. In cases where a unit's range schedule was advanced by Range Control on short notice (less than 30 days into the month previous to the forecasted month), and the ammunition is available, the issue will be treated as being unforecasted but supported. Those issues caused by schedule changes must be verified with Range Control by the Installation Training Ammunition Manager. Unforecasted requirements may also result in the requesting unit or organization being charged premium transportation fees to cover the cost of short-notice, unplanned shipments Any Active Component (AC) unit requesting training ammunition to support off-post exercises will perform the following: Ammunition to support off-post training (training at other installations) will be forecasted in TAMIS for that that particular installation s ASP. It is the unit's responsibility to insure appropriate DA Form 1687 along with assumption of command orders for requestors/receivers and approvers are on file at the supporting installation ASP. Documentation must be on file prior to submission of the e581 in TAMIS.
